Here is my take on 2D battles. You got 2 sides, 40,000 + ships all
together. So it would be easier to organize your fleet on a plain than
trying to organize in a 3D pattern... Also the distance of 6 million
kilos allow you to draw a flat plain for reference even when fleet
formations are in 3D. If you seen the movies. The fleet formations
are actually in 3D, but the over all battle is in 2D.
I think that is my cent and 1/2.
